Erin, Looks like you might be the 'biggest' loser this week....Whoo Hoo, Great work!
Heather, Still hope all is going well for you.... be proud of your loss, I know you have a lot going on.
Trent, No worries... you've helped all us through our low weeks, now we got you.
It doesn't look like will have to say goodbye to anyone this week (if I'm doing my math right). Muscle Busters had a tough week and a bunch of their team members gain. We just have to regroup and work together to pull bigger numbers next week cause MB's are gonna come back fighting after this loss.
Hope you're right! (Haven't taken the time to do the calculations myself.)
I've noticed that my exercise/food/nutrition efforts have been a bit bi-polar over the last few months... I'll have a week or two (or sometimes even only a couple days) that are really good and I feel great, and then a week or two (or a few days) that are really bad. Back and forth. I need to figure out how to even things out and quit bouncing between extremes. I really want to average a pound a week for the rest of the year if I can - I'm not asking for anything unreasonable, I don't think... I feel great when I'm on track and when I'm not binging and when I'm exercising regularly, so I don't understand why it's so hard for me to stay there.0 -

Yay me! lol
I'm getting really tired of eating so little, but the fact that we have no money to buy food means I can't eat out which is a good thing.
Hopefully I'll hit the 160's next week. That would be awesome!
Trent,
you'll find a way. I know for me a lot of it is about the mindset. I keep telling myself that I have to continue and this isn't a diet... isn't temporary that it's a life change and something I will continue on with even when I loss the weight. I don't have a high metabolism so I have to keep up with it unless I want to regress.
Stress doesn't help either. It makes us want to quit. I don't know if your work stresses you out at all.
All I know is you can do it. I have no doubt that once you find your mindset that you will achieve it.0 -
You know what's cool? The winner this week gets a .5 lb advantage AND gets to give someone a .5 lb advantage. So Erin as the biggest loser gets 1/2 pound and gives the other to Trent and you both get into the 160's next week means you BOTH would get another .25 advantage!!! Not that I would want you to do that or anything. :laugh: That should give you some motivation for the week.
Hope I don't regret my words.... Nah, I'm feeling really motivated. Just one person at work has noticed a difference. I am on vacation the week of July 4th and I want to come back in the 160's and really pop a few eyes. So I need to lose .3 pounds a day for the next 18 days. Just have to focus focus focus.0 -
Great plan Debbie! Love it! I REALLY wanted our team to get that advantage this week cause I knew it would give us a whole pound advantage but I didn't think about the extra .5 if they both reach the 160's... That's awesome.
You did really good this week Debbie and you seam to be pretty consistant... I think your goal sounds very reasonable. I'm with ya on wanted to pop some eyes. No one has really noticed my loss this far. I coulda cause a wreck yesterday in front of my house though yesterday. Some guy slowed down to check me out and honked and waved at me almost rear-ending the car in front of him. Kinda made me feel good:laugh:

I totally dig debbie's idea.

Debbie is brilliant!!!!
Trent - so happy you are still in the game - good for you. And quit the bipolar dieting...lol....cause I do that and it's not good!0 -
Thanks for the support everyone. I totally lucked out that things happened the way they did this week and I didn't get eliminated. Can't say I would mind a half pound advantage this week... lol. A would pound advantage for our team would be awesome. 0
-
So, we have a whole pound advantage this week! We could bring Irishgal back too if someone on our team wins next weeks challenge... this game is freakin' awesome! I hope Kim does another one and another one until I reach my ideal weight... Not sure I could do it without the challenge

Hmmmm but we would have to put her on the other team... Darn it. That's gonna be a tough one cause if we bring someone to our team we would lose someone we already have. We'd have to take out their biggest threat and put Irish back in the game on their team... my wheels are turning!0

I love the turning wheels....whatever you guys decide, I'm game - and I'll respect and honor any decision - pretty easy going over here! LOL. I am doing well this week friends. So happy that the scale is finally in my favor. Helps that the 30 day shred is over. Went to Dairy Queen today and kids got blizzards and I got a small strawberry sundae - felt so awesome getting something way less in cals. Usually I go with that plan and order bad the last second. Whew!
I love having my laptop back - I can chat again on here! Whoooot!0 -
I'm determined to win this one! I don't want them deciding our fate anymore.. them taking Debbie was NOT good! I'm a little worried about Faith though... She pulls big numbers when she is motivated!
I took my family to Dairy Queen a couple weeks ago cause the boys were brave when they got their shots. It was hard not to get a blizzard but I knew I couldn't afford it (calorie wise) so I got one of those starkiss bars... I forgot how good those are. I use to get them all the time when I was young and they are only somewhere around 100 calories (can't remember exactly). Good job with your choice too... It does feel good to go out to eat and feel confident with your choice of food:flowerforyou:0 -
You go Kasi, kick some butt! And don't worry, if you all decide to trade me or Faith out I won't be mad, I will just haunt you forever. :laugh: :laugh:
I agree, I would have never gotten this far without the challenge. I need the competition and the forced weigh in each week.
p.s. you've got mail!0 -
I am uber motivated. We will win next week!!!!!!!!!!
I don't want this to end! :sad:
I love doing this with you guys!0 -
I know huh! It's nice to have the support of our team (Debbie included )! We will definately win the weigh-in but one of us HAS to win the Biggest Loser prize! 0

I won the last challenge and got my prize last week in the mail. Kim is so sweet.
Weighed myself yesterday and I'm so close to the 160's again. Jeepers, I SO want the 160's! Wonder if that advantage works for me too or maybe not? Either way, I'm excited. 0 -

160's would be awesome!
I was 170.8 this morning... so close... so close.... lol0 -
171.2! We r soooo close! Bday party n beer today n tonight. Gonna run so I can eat more...lol0
-
I think you will both have me beat on getting into the 160s.
I think I cracked last week because I was putting too much pressure on myself, so at this point I'm just going to go with the flow and not worry about when I hit what weight. I need to focus on eating healthy, keeping up my exercise and doing what I know I've gotta do. The weight will follow. :drinker:0 -
Exactly Trent. You'll get there... don't stress about it.
I weighed myself when we got home from working on the car... again.
169.8... But I haven't really had anything to eat today. Just a mountain dew... some pickles and granola bar really.0 -

Holy awesomeness girl!!!
I ate like a sow today...tried to drink and I got sick off of one drink - what's up with that?!?! Will eat very low cals tomorrow to make up for it. Hoping to hit 160's SOOOO much this week!
Trent - great, great, great attitude and so much smarter than what I did the first time. Doing it the healthy way like you are is def. the smart and permanant route. I didn't the first time and it came back. 0 -

What a great number to see on the scale. But you know you have to eat, right? :bigsmile: Wishing you all luck getting into the 160's!0 -

That was eating pretty terriblely. I did eat when we got home, but we were just out running around and trying to get stuff done. Kinda forgot I guess.0 -
K.. so I was feeling really good when I came into work this morning cause I ran a mile which is totally new to me. I don't normally run so it felt pretty damn good. But then I got here and my boss met me at my car to inform me we are cutting hours (including mine) I'm pretty stressed out about it but she has left me in charge of figuring out how the hours will be distributed (again very stressful). I think I have it figured out but people are gonna be mad and I don't want to break the news to them! The only positive about the situation is that I will have 4 days off a week which totally rocks but damn this really sucks to have to tell others that they aren't gonna have the hours they need! Gotta breath... it'll all be okay.... really stressed right now though:frown:0
-
I would love to have 4 days off a week but sure couldn't afford the pay cut. :sick: So what's up, people not drinking? Yeah right :laugh: Guess they are all doing it at home. I can't even remember the last time we have been in a bar. Except on a cruise ship.
The other's shouldn't be mad at you! Not your fault. Tell then to get more of their friends in drinking.0 -
It's been ridiculously slow here. The owners are trying to lease out the bar and the potential buyer is having issues coming up with the initial fees to take over. This is either gonna go one of two ways... He'll come up with the money , all will be good and we'll go back to normal schedule or we will shut down and I'll be outta a job. So freakin' stressful. I worked the schedule so I won't have a pay cut but one of my guys may end up quitting over this then I'll be screwed but we'll just have to see.0

Sheesh Kasi that really sucks. Good luck. I hope things go well.
I just found out yesterday that we're going to Ohio for this coming weekend. I just started the 30 day shred and won't be able to do it while we're there, but the inlaws have a pool and I intend on swimming my little heart out.
We're leaving late Friday night and coming back on monday... so I might be mia for a couple of days.0 -

Kasi - hoping things get less stressful for you and find out the news that you want in the end. And remember whatever the outcome, someday it will all make sense and you'll be at peace with it all.
Erin - ugh, it's tough to have to quit the 30 day shred like that. Will you be taking your computer? I found a link to it online tonight...

Well, the guy I was worried about tried to quit on the spot when I told him but he calmed down and said he'd try to stick it out for a little while. I understand why he's upset but there is nothing I can do about it.
Gotta love mini-vacas Erin! Have fun swimming... I might do some swimming too in the lake. It's normally not warm enough this time of year but were there yesterday for the day to fish and the water felt great and I looked at the weather and its suppose to be in the high 70's all weekend... totally excited!
Irish, I will check out your blog in the morning.. Just got back from a long run and ready to clean up and hit the pillow!
Good Night Fat Fighters 0 -
